well some people wanted to see this again in its own thread and yes it was very easy to do.
just remove the old shifter..cut the remaining shift column to 2'' above where it comes out of the console .. then cut the white plastic "shifter rod" appox 3/4 to an inch above the metal tube.... to ensure the shifter still slides ride inside the tube using a plumbers pipe cutter to cut the metal the kind you spin around to cut. and then attach your fav . aftermarket shifter .. i got mine from RS-1 tuning ... bad ass little ball style .. you push the whole ball down to shift..
my O|D button well im relocating that to my new sterring wheel im getting it has 2 buttons on it .. so well see how that turns out

like i said (this would be the third time), it looks cool. and i agree. definatly looks much better then stock.

what bothers me is that this guy is claiming that he is getting performance gains from this. that simple would not be the case. you can customize your car however you want to. but performance is performance. and something things help performance, and some things do not help performance.

well thanx for the props guys i just wanted to put it out there so people with atx could see what ''could '' be done and as far as performance gains? no performance gains i siad it was easier to shift threw the gears ie fells smoother rather than the bulky stock shifter thats all and let me clairify my selve on the title i know you can make a atx a short throw im not a moron its a short throw look did it just for looks thats all thanx again for the props guys

U guys are a bunch of ass's, i like it, short throws for manual trans dont do any magic either...its all an illusion to begin with, if he likes it, it looks cool...back off, if it makes it more comfortable for him to use, then its performance for him.

i said i multiple times i think it looks cool. is that what makes me an ass?

i also said the flat out truth that there will be no performance gains. is that what makes me an ass?

well... guess i am an ass then

as for what a short throw does for a manual... it actually changes the angle and pivot point of the shifter. It shortens and firms the throw of the shifter. every single person i have heard of who had first hand experiance with an aftermarket short throw shifter was very pleased with the performance improvment. if its an illusion, that it is a grand illusion... [rolleyes]

So I've been looking around to get good base numbers for stock focus on a dig to 60 and I feel like somehow based on what I've seen (sub 8 sec 0-60) my car is slower than it would be stock somehow. I did tests with another person in the vehicle timing and I consistently pulled 15 sec. Flat to 60...

I was wondering what this rubber cap is a breather valve. Is it possible for a leak to occur at this point? If so how can I replace rubber cap and what is it called. This image would be like looking down at the transmission from in FRONT of the driver side.

Has anyone installed a cone filter like this instead of this it’s probably on one of the threads I just havnt seen it and also what oil are y’all recommending I’m bouncing between stp synthetic high mileage and Castrol gtx and a motor craft filter I will b using the 5w 20

There is too much confusion and misinformation out there, so I'm going to simplify everything.
